Bangladesh representatives step in to spare viral ‘Donald Trump’ buffalo
An albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump” has been returned to its farm after Bangladeshi representatives stepped in to stop its planned ritual sacrifice for Eidul Azha, local press documented on Wednesday.
The buffalo, raised at a farm near the capital Dhaka, became a viral attraction in recent weeks over its blond hair and apparent resemblance to US Head Donald Trump’s distinctive hairstyle. Crowds gathered daily to take pictures of the nearly 700-kilogramme animal, which went viral across social press and global news outlets.
The animal had already been sold to a buyer for sacrifice during Eidul Azha. But local broadcaster Channel 24 documented that the Home Government department asked representatives to stop the slaughter after the buffalo’s popularity surged nationwide.

The buffalo was subsequently sent back to the farm where it had been raised. Representatives did not publicly explain the reason for the province involvement.
Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha previously stated the animal was named “Donald Trump” by his younger brother over the pale tuft of hair on its forehead. He described the buffalo as calm and stated albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh, where most are dark-skinned.
